The last time we saw Hovig on a Eurovision stage, was during Cyprus’ national selection in 2015 when he sang his song “Stone In A River” which finished 4th in the Grand Final of the selection. It isn’t the first time that broadcaster, CyBc have internally selected their act from the 2015 selection process. In 2016 they chose to send rock band, Minus One, who after qualifying for the Grand Final in Stockholm, finished 21st in the contest with 96 points.
We will keep you updated on Thursday for further news on Hovig and Cyprus at Eurovision 2017.
